N1MM's spectrum display - Tom VA3TS - 2023-06-02

I was playing around with N1MM+  and found a neat feature of N1MM's spectrum display. This is easy if you have an icom rig like the 7300 or 7610 plus many others. The programs documentation explains it all.Here is the spectrum window displayed, look in the "window" menu for "Spectrum Display". Some settings are needed  http://adarc.co.uk/pdf/IC7300-N1MM.pdf
I have my com port set to 115000 baud N81

   

After some reading and trying things out I noticed the red squares. 

   

These things show the qso in progress and clicking the box with the mouse will qsy the rig to that frequency.

Now I can move up and down the band, a qso at every location.

   

The noise floor adjustment, the printing on the left side of the screen, changes when you use the mouse wheel to move the
noise floor line up and down. Adjusting the radio's rf gain helps to make the qso signals separate a bit. These signals are detected, counted and then displayed a red squares, which you can then click on and change frequency.

The radio itself was off to one side, other than rf gain adjustments, I didn't touch it.

The band was busy this day with the US memorial day and POTA as well. Not as busy as FieldDaybut it may work. Gotta try it..

That is a nice feature if you don't want to spin the dial. Unfortunately my Kenwood can't use it without hardware mods and SDRplay. 
Maybe the next rig. I am fine with using Telnet and Reverse Beacon.
Glad you got it to work for you. Smile
